§ 4.116 Schedule of ratings—gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.

Uterus disease or injury

Disease, injury, or scar tissue affecting the uterus that may cause pain or menstrual problems.

What the rating means

VA rates disease, injury, or adhesions of the uterus under the General Rating Formula for Disease, Injury, or Adhesions of Female Reproductive Organs, which also applies to diagnostic codes 7610 through 7615. Three rating levels are possible: 30%, 10%, and 0%.

A 30% rating applies when your symptoms are not controlled even with continuous treatment. A 10% rating applies when your symptoms require continuous treatment to be managed. A 0% rating applies when your symptoms do not require continuous treatment.

Two important limits apply. Natural menopause, primary amenorrhea, and pregnancy and childbirth are not considered disabilities for rating purposes. Chronic residuals of medical or surgical complications of pregnancy may qualify. Additionally, if your condition involves the loss or loss of use of a creative organ, VA may separately consider whether you are entitled to special monthly compensation under § 3.350.

Evidence that helps

To support a rating at any level, medical records that document your diagnosis and treatment history are central. Records showing what treatments you have been prescribed — such as medications, hormone therapy, or surgical interventions — and how consistently they are needed help establish whether your condition falls into the continuous treatment or no-continuous-treatment category.

For a 30% rating, evidence that your symptoms persist or remain uncontrolled despite ongoing treatment is key. This could include clinical notes from follow-up visits documenting continued pain, bleeding irregularities, or other uterine symptoms even while you are actively being treated.

For a 10% rating, records showing that your symptoms are managed only because you maintain continuous treatment support that level. Statements from you or people who know you describing how your symptoms affect your daily activities and work when treatment lapses can also be relevant to showing the need for uninterrupted care.

Secondary conditions

Conditions that are often caused or made worse by this one. If you have any of these, they may be claimable as secondary service connection.
